I think this is like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound.Another half witted "Idea" to give the appearance of Fixing what is obviously a broken system.The best and most obvious solution is accountability for Incompetent judges and Uniformed Training for every official affiliated with the sport.
The WBA specifically has experimented with things alot as far as scoring so no points off for Trying.They pushed an "extra round" Ala the UFC years ago,If draw is declared at bouts end,then you go to Immediate odd round.A short time ago they practiced Open scoring in a 12 rounder with scores announced in 4 round volleys.There is no doubt this practice can effect the tempo and strategies of The boxers and Corners alike who should be fully focused on the effects their opponent is having on them instead.
The first fight I ever scored live (on T.V) that went to a decision was in Nov. of 1991,Michael carbajal vs. Jesus Chong and looking back it shows what MY biggest problem was ...The dreaded even round.I had 3 even rounds and scored the 8th 10-9 Carbajal regardless of a knockdown that Carbajal scored as Chong battled back strong in my eyes.Without that I would have had FOUR even.That just nuts.I have tried numerous ways since and can honestly say that Bias and Favorite fighter standings do not come into play.I find that dividing the round up into 3 and scoring it minute by minute is full proof guarantee for non even rounds but then of course you have Knockdowns and point deductions for them as well as fouls?
Also the 10 point must system needs fine tuning.If fighter A dominates 2/3 Rd's and suffers a flash knockdown buy fighter B..I see it 9-9??Ive actually had rounds 6-7 on occasion with multiple knockdowns.It really comes down to Universal guidelines and training......& ACCOUNTABILITY.
